I'm not sure of the actual name of this place as it was just a random find en-route to somewhere else, couldn't quite make out the sign and any paperwork was less than helpful.
Still it turned out to be half decent for something i wasn't expecting, looks like they made generic random wood tat for tourists, some of you might have some still lying about.
I'm guessing they closed down around 2011 judging by the callenders.

Checked this school out on a bit of a whim with a non member whilst doing something else in the area, we wasn't sure what to expect having not done any proper research on it, first impressions weren't good as it's looking very knackered outside, however inside it was a real treat, heavily boarded but despite this what light there is inside was spot on and seemed to add to it making it really photogenic, hence the overkill on the images (sorry)
Mucho dead pigeons and their shit everywhere but to be expected the length it's been shut.
The School was opened in 1913. According to KellyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Directory for 1914 Ã¢â‚¬Å“Easington Colliery School for boys, girls and infants when completed will have cost Ã‚Â£21,000 for 1296 children; average attendance 320 boys, 310 girls and 325 infants.
However further records show that the sexes were separated with the girlsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ school opening 2nd March 1914 and the boys school, a year later on 26th May 1915.
In the separate schools the seniors were upstairs and the younger ones downstairs,The boys building was at the top of the bank separated by two yards from the girlsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ building which was further down the road, nearer to the colliery.
Each department had its own yard with outside toilets. In the senior boysÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ yard was a special building,tucked in the corner for woodwork with a matching one for cookery in the girlsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ yard.**
This arrangement continued until 1938 when the Ã¢â‚¬Å“New SchoolÃ¢â‚¬Â (always known as this even when it was about to be demolished in the 1990Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s) was built. This building was between the colliery and the village in an area known locally as the
Ã¢â‚¬ËœWaterworksÃ¢â‚¬â„¢.
The Schools closed mid 90's from what i can gather.

Cheers for looking

Cool little independant cinema in the backstreets of Belgium, despite the fact it's had a bit of a kicking and a partly collapsed roof it was a nice little spot.
Visited with Oldskool and a couple of non members.
